Looks like a good list of inductees. Nice to see Hashimoto on the list, he pretty much carried puro for a while; superceding the likes of Muta, Chono, Misawa, and Kawada in the late 90s and early 2000s (though here's to hoping Muta and Chono make it someday soon). Hodge, Rogers, and Brisco naturally belong in any wrestling HOF and you could easily say the same for the Sheik and the Wrecking Crew. Too bad so many on that list are no longer with us.

Good to see the Minnesota Wrecking Crew (Ole & Gene Anderson) going in as they will likely never get into the Observer Hall of Fame. I'm hoping WWE follows suit next year in Atlanta but somehow I don't see that happening. Good for Ole, though, as at least he is around to see the recognition given that both he and Gene deserve.
